All of our Tictac Equestrian team are strong believers in how effective magnetic therapy can be. Whether you use it to aid the recovery of an injury, to help reduce swelling for an older horse or even just before and after exercise to help promote circulation, we would definitely recommend giving it a try!
Magnets work exactly the same as a copper bracelet would work on a human, they can help repair scar tissue, reduce inflammation, swelling, stiffness, muscle cramps and even ease arthritis pain. Equine magnetic products range from stable chaps, tendon or brushing boots and even rugs!
I have used the Equilibrium Stable Chaps and would highly recommend them to anybody looking to try magnetic therapy. I used them on my thoroughbred mare with arthritis for years and they helped her tremendously! Her legs got very swollen and she was very stiff after being stabled for a short period of time. Using the chaps at night time reduced her swelling and she was a lot less stiff too! Lauren also uses the chaps on her little 14.2 who has previously broken both of her back legs in separate incidents so she also suffers from severe arthritis and swelling. These chaps also helped her out dramatically too! J
If you’re looking for something that you can use whilst you are riding, I also use a magnetic therapy band. This is a thin magnetic band with a Velcro strap that fits comfortably around the fetlock and comes in black and fluorescent yellow (which is very useful for hacking!) My mare had an injury to her right hind leg before I bought her and she always seems to be very stiff through this leg. I find that using the band helps to loosen her off a lot more quickly than without.
At Tictac Equestrian, we stock a large range of quality and affordable magnetic products, including the Equilibrium chaps and fetlock bands J To see our full range, visit www.tictacequestrian.com
